I think Kristi Gnome had an allergic reaction to all the botox she's been shooting up along with those collagen lip puffers.

I used to live 1/2 block due east of this famous mural on Venice Beach.

In every soul, there is a place reserved for Shadow. Mine was safely hidden, tucked in a blind spot at the corners of my memory, under a hollow bruise that I thought had healed long ago. Then the ravens came to New Haven... Deborah Harkness, Black Bird Oracle

There was a lizard on the outside of the door and G couldn't figure out why she couldn't get it. Much caterwauling ensued and she kept running back to yell at me for help. If you look hard at the top of the black square around the doorknob you can just see it's tail and back leg.

Kristi Puppy Killer Noem says DHS is here to "liberate" is from our duly elected leaders. #YoureNextAmerica

4 degrees of separation from Brian Wilson: Brian's brother, Dennis, ran a stop sign on Rose Avenue in Venice and crashed into the car of the parents of my BFF. (Christine McVey was a passenger in the car.)

It's been a bad week for musical legends. RIP to Sly Stone and Brian Wilson.

Here's a picture of the riots on my street. It's so bad the birds haven't even stopped singing.

During the day the protests are calm and peaceful. At night the anarchists come out to burn and loot. They want blood in the streets as much as Trump does. Each wants to provoke the other and American democracy is in the middle.

RFK Jr. reminds me of one of those kids who dances in front of the TV until people yell at him because he craves attention, any kind of attention.

The ICE raided the mall, a few miles from here, the local car wash, and arrested the man who has sold fruit from a street cart for decades in this neighborhood. They've parked cars outside high schools hoping to arrest parents coming to see their kids graduate. #YoureNextAmerica

What else could you think of but getting your throat slit? Whitechapel, Shadwell, The Ratcliffe Highway: images of the bloody East End flashed like knives in and out of Sadie Diver's mind each time she heard the sound of footsteps... Martha Grimes, The Five Bells and Bladebone

They want blood in the streets because they want to scare the people into inaction. They will do everything they can to escalate the situation.

The fascists have federalized the California National Guard against the governor's wishes and have started to unload heavy armaments. Heil Holman says he's making L.A. safer. Color me skeptical.

Pearl slumped over her porridge, drifting into a deep slumber that providence marked as her last. Tears trickled down Thomas' weathered cheeks as he reached across the table and dabbed the corner of her mouth... Blake Myers, Who Put Bella In the Wych Elm?

Huh. I just saw one of those food delivery robots driving down the sidewalk in front of my house. Not for me, thankfully.

Today, I am feeling guilt and shame for once telling someone confidently that I knew how to spell bureaucracy and then spelling it completely wrong. This happened thirty years ago. #LifeAsAnIntrovert

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Run. Don't stop. Keep moving… The big, fat moon makes everything black and white. Frost and shadow. Life and death. Steve stumbles. The turned up mud's solid - up and down like a roller-coaster.... Stuart MacBride, Dark Blood

So far apart from just a couple of hitches Plan A was working out fine. Which was fortunate since they didn't really have a Plan B. At 830 on a late May evening they banked on having some daylight.There had been plenty of the stuff this time yesterday... Peter James, Dead Simple

Billy Porter: outrageous and profound, over the top and deep in the heart. I love him so.

"The office no longer had a permanent overnight forecaster after... cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency, the initiative led by Elon Musk..." Americans are dying because of this incompetence! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

I'm glad at least Europe is fighting back against the nationalist/rightist trend. (You, too, Canada!)

UPDATE: I've a month left in my recovery, my external stitches are out & I got the results from my Gynae team. NO CANCER CELLS DETECTED! I'm so relieved! Next week: breast team results. Also, I'm only 10% from my goal! Thank you all SO MUCH & please boost! www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

400 mill gift plane? When I worked for a government contractor we had to follow the rules of govt gift giving. If a visitor gave us a commemorative plate, etc., we couldn't accept it. We had to turn it over to the corporation for public display. If representatives from the
